Steps

75 minutes

1

To prepare the kibbeh dough: Mix the ground beef with the bulgur, spices, and salt thoroughly.
2

Grind the mixture twice in a meat grinder, then mix well until fully combined. Place in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
3

To make the filling: In a pot over medium heat, heat the vegetable oil, then sauté the onion. Add the walnuts and stir briefly. Add the ground beef and cook, stirring, until the meat releases its juices. Add the Aleppo pepper, red pepper paste, spices, and salt. Continue cooking and stirring until the liquid evaporates and the meat is fully cooked. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
4

Grease a baking tray with a little olive oil.
5

Divide the kibbeh dough in half. Press the first half evenly into the tray to a thickness of no more than 1/4 inch (about 1/2 cm), smoothing the surface.
6

Spread the filling evenly over the first layer of kibbeh dough. Press gently with your palm to even it out.
7

Spread the second half of the kibbeh mixture over the filling to a thickness of no more than 1/4 inch (about 1/2 cm), smoothing the surface. Brush the top lightly with olive oil, then cut into desired shapes with a knife.
8

Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 55 minutes on the middle rack, with heat from both top and bottom, until golden and cooked through. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

Cut and serve.
